The Resurrection Effect Concert slated for May 1
A popular Ghanaian gospel singer, Empress Gifty has urged patrons of this year’s ‘The Resurrection Effect Concert’ (TREC)to expect healing and testimonies on the night.
“I am expecting a lot of healing, breakthroughs and testimonies for patrons on the night,” she said.
Empress Gifty made this statement when speaking at the press launch of this year’s edition at EL Lounge on Friday, April 1, 2022.
TREC birthed in 2019, had it’s first edition held on an Easter Monday, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, it was put on hold.
The “Eye Woa” hitmaker disclosed that this year’s edition would be under the Theme; ‘The Essence of the Empty Tomb’ making biblical inference to 1Corinthians 15:3-5.
She added that the much awaited event was slated for May 1, 2022, at the Junction Mall, Nungua at 5pm.
“Even though the date has been shifted to May this year due to management decision, the tenets and pillars on which the TREC was built on Easter, The Ressurection of Christ, still stands,” she noted.
The gospel Empress announced that she had teamed up with Nigeria’s finest, Peterson Okopi, Ghanaian legends Tagoe Sisters, Rev Perry Lokko, Eric Jeshrun, and Jack Alolomi among others to rock worshippers on that day.
TREC is an annual Easter Concert which brings thousands of worshippers together to celebrate the Resurrection Power of Christ and win more souls for His kingdom.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
